Deleting a Stack on the AWS CloudFormation Console

From the list of stacks in the AWS CloudFormation console, select the stack that you
want to
delete (it must be currently running).

Choose Actions and then Delete
Stack.

Click Yes, Delete when prompted.

Note

After stack deletion has begun, you cannot abort it. The stack proceeds to the DELETE_IN_PROGRESS state.

After the stack deletion is complete, the stack will be in the DELETE_COMPLETE state. Stacks in the DELETE_COMPLETE state are not displayed in the AWS CloudFormation console by default. To display
deleted stacks, you must change the stack view setting as described in Viewing Deleted Stacks.

If the delete failed, the stack will be in the DELETE_FAILED state. For solutions, see the Delete Stack Fails troubleshooting topic.
